Catit Flower Fountain with Triple Action Filter, 3 L, Green

There's a reason Wirecutter ranked this product number one for cat water fountains. It's currently quite difficult to choose a pet fountain, precisely because there are so many on the market. But there are several good reasons to select this fountain over the others. Firstly, Catit has proven to be a reliable, longstanding, and quality brand. There's a reason local pet stores carry Catit and not other random brands you'll find here on Amazon. They've been around for years now and consistently get great marks from customers and review sites alike. This product in particular is quality – the pump works flawlessly, water flow levels and height-options are perfect, and its simplistic design is hassle-free. There isn't an overabundance of parts that may break over time. Secondly, consider that since Catit is the biggest pet fountain brand, you will have certain advantages over other, smaller brands. Most importantly, filters are way cheaper, higher quality, and easier to find for this fountain. You can locate everything from multipacks to off-brand replacements on Amazon. That's not something you'll see with other brands. Brand recognition also brings better customer service, easier returns, and a bigger troubleshooting community. Lastly, this product simply works better than other offerings. It has the perfect noise level, which is actually quite subtle and doesn't sound like a dripping faucet or flowing sink. It's also much easier to refill compared to other models. I've owned several cat fountains, and most of them have two fatal flaws. First, they can be surprisingly difficult to open up, resulting in broken plastic, difficulty in refilling, and struggles with replacing oddly shaped filters. This Catit model, on the other hand, can be refilled without moving any parts, doesn't have any interlocking or snapping plastic, and features a very simple “donut” shaped filter. I especially love how easy the filters are to replace. A second fatal flaw this product avoids is much more critical. It doesn't clog and overflow like other models. Thanks to the donut-shaped filter, cat hair and gunk won't cause ports to plug up – which can result in motor failure and overflowing fountains. And yes – I have had this happen with other competitors. I would 100% recommend this product over any other cat water fountain, many of which I have personally tried. Shopping for these fountains can be an absolute pain. But trust Wirecutter, other reviewers, and my cat - Catit is the way to go.

It's really cute and my family and friends have complemented the fountain when they see it. Even though it's plastic, it stays pretty clean thanks to the way it's built. The way it works is that the filter goes underneath the internal green surface under the flower so any water that goes back into the bucket is cat hair and food free. This keeps the motor running smoothly since there is no worry about food/cat hair clogging it up. It does still need to be cleaned periodically though since the usual slime that builds up in any bowl or fountain is still apparent. I've noticed that after a two or so weeks, there appears to be some sort of foam that builds up in the little pool that exists on the side (where the water goes back down). Rinsing off the filter works well enough to remedy that for another few weeks. I only change the filter once it gets to the point where the rate of the water draining is so slow that you can see the water building up to the emergency drain line even though the fountain isn't that full. My cat loves this fountain and drinks from it all the time. You can choose to use just the flat surface so water does a soft flow over the surface being draining back down, making it so a little bubbler occurs that they can drink from, or with the flower, it makes 5 little streams of falling water. The noise level depends on where you put it. I have it in the corner and on tile floor so the noise is a bit louder but not to an annoying degree. It's more of a muted buzzing sound. Out of the corner and on a surface that isn't tile, it's extremely quiet. The water level also determines the loudness of the motor - the less water, the louder it is for obvious reasons. The reason I had bought this fountain was because I noticed my cat was barely drinking any water. At first she was little afraid of it but was also super intrigued and did the usual sniff, back off, sniff, lick, back off dance. After a few minutes she started drinking greedily from it and continues to do so (yay!). I have had other fountains before but I chose this one over other fountains because it was easy to clean and because it promised that it would keep out anything that wasn't water from the pool which meant the water she drank was always guaranteed to be clean and the motor wouldn't clog. This I promise is completely true, as long as you use a filter. The only negative is the filters are a little pricey and third-party filters (like the one I'm currently using) aren't as high quality. The third-party one I bought has it so Instead of the yellow or black area filling up the entire quarter of the circle, it's more like a little square piece that's within that quarter, held together by the plastic underneath and the white filter material on the top.

I've had this for about seven months now. I initially dinged it slightly for poor instructions, but that is absolutely the only complaint I could come up with about it, even after having it for a while. I have two cats, one who likes to drink from the bathroom sink (cute at first, but gets annoying) and the other who likes to drink from the toilet (eww). They both regularly drink from the Catit fountain - one very daintily and carefully, the other by kind of shoving his head in and going to town. The important point is that they're both drinking regularly, and it's reduced (but not quite eliminated) the demands from the one to turn on the bathroom sink so he can drink from that. What's impressed me, and motivated me to update my review, is how well the fountain is holding up. I fill it with water and rinse the filter out about twice a week. The pump makes a bit of noise when the water is low, which tells me to refill the fountain, but other than that it's still completely silent. The fountain looks as good as it did the when I bought it, and nothing has broken or leaked. The Catit fountain costs enough that I feel that I should be able to expect that it continues to work, but it's nice to find that it does indeed live up to my expectations. I continue to appreciate the USB power supply, which makes it easy to find exactly the right length of cord and it intrinsically safe since it's only 5 volts. The power supply that came with it continues to work well (even when I occasionally steal it to charge a phone). The filter has stayed in serviceable condition extremely well - most of the filter media is just a nonwoven fibrous filter, and rinsing it and letting it dry a couple of times a week has worked very well. It has no evidence of getting slimy or smelling bad, which are the things that would make me suspect that it's growing mold or bacteria. I've thought about cleaning it in a 10% bleach solution (obviously with a very thorough rinse afterwards) but I haven't felt it's necessary. Mostly what I find in the filter is a little bit of cat hair (to be fair, I find that everywhere in my house) and occasionally a bit of food, and it keeps those out of the main water supply and the pump. There's a bit of activated charcoal in there as well, and I'm sure that's saturated with, well, whatever was in the water, but I use bottled water in the fountain so I'm not too concerned about tap water impurities. Overall, I'm pleased with how much the cats use it, and I'm extremely pleased with its reliability. It's an excellent value for the money, and I would recommend it without reservation.

I have four cats. I really want to like this, but thus far, only one of my four cats will use this. It has been a little over two weeks. Here is my experience with it thus far. Day 1 - The fountain itself is easy to to put together and easy to clean. It's not loud at all. To the people who are complaining about noise, you probably got a bad pump. All I can hear is some water trickling. I set it up after cleaning it, and 2 of my four cats sniff it and walk away. Day 2 - Still haven't seen a cat drink out of it. Day 3 - I think that maybe they drink out of it when I'm not looking or listening, so I set up a game cam across from it. I'm hoping to catch them drinking. Day 4-8 - Game cam captures many pictures of the cats giving the fountain a wide berth as they walk by, but not a single drink. I don't bother to set it back up. Day 10 - I hear the telltale mlem mlem mlem of a cat drinking! I walk in to the room slowly, and there's my dumbest cat, drinking away! I consider for a moment that maybe I don't give her enough credit, and maybe she's smarter than I thought. She the proceeds to lick the side of the fountain, the wall next to the fountain and then the floor by the fountain. Never mind. I decide to clean the fountain since I actually have a cat drinking out of it. Aside from some charcoal from the filter that has found its way to the bottom of the bucket, the fountain is clean. I wipe it out and replace the water anyway. Cleaning it remains barely any more difficult than cleaning a cat's water bowl. Day 11-16 - Dumb cat continues drinking out of it. My furry cat sniffs it occasionally, but she has yet to drink. My chill cat stares at it, but won't drink and my psycho cat has yet to go in the room since I turned the fountain on. Dumb cat often has a face full of water because she just kind of shoves her whole head in the fountain to drink. Day 26 - Psycho cat walks in the room with the fountain, climbs on top of it, and drinks! I'm very glad that psycho cat is tiny. If chill cat (A great big tomcat) or furry cat (a Maine coon) try this, problems will ensue. Day 31 - Chill cat and Furry cat both drink! Luckily, my two huge cats gingerly mlem up water without even bumping up against the reservoir bucket. If either of my big cats get Psycho cat's idea and climb on this fountain, water is going everyone. Psycho is maybe 8 pounds. Chill is around 18 and Furry is a Maine Coon. I will update in the future if anything anything changes. Personally, I have had no problems with it thus far, but only one of my four cats will use it, so I can't really give it a glowing review. I have tried everything from putting it right next to their usual water bowl to pretending to drink out of it while my cats watch. Nothing has worked. I think one of the problems is the fact that no standing water exists in the fountain. I think three of my cats might need an intermediate fountain that has both moving and standing water to train them to use this thing. All of my cats are between 3 and 6 years old by the way. As of the 4/21, two of my four cats use it. I will keep this updated as time goes on. The fountain works fine, but it gets noisy when the water level drops. That's a good time to clean it! As of 4/28, all of my cats use it. I have raised my review to 4 stars. It certainly isn't perfect, but it good enough for now. After a month, everything still works just fine. The pump is only noisy when the water level gets low. The only way to tell that the water is low, is by either taking off the top and looking or the pump noise. If the water level is very low, you will hear water splashing all the way from the top into the water on the bottom. I clean it every time I change the water, and cleaning this thing is a breeze. The only issue I have is that cat hair gets stuck in the filter. I suppose that's what a filter is for though. If either of my large cats start climbing on this thing, they are going to knock it over. If you have a large cat that has a tendency to climb on everything, this is probably not for you.

When I first saw this water fountain I immediately wanted it! My older cat (5-years-old) usually breaks the fountains I buy for her. By break I mean she loves water so much that she will drinks consistently throughout the day and more so during the night which makes the water level so low that the motor eventually burns out. Even though I was constantly filling the water up to the appropriate level she still managed to burn every motor of every fountain I have ever bought for her. Then I brought a kitten into our family (he is now 9 months old) and sure enough, between the two of them, the last $100 fountain I bought they broke by burning the motor out. I was not at all turned off by the fact that this fountain is made out of plastic and I did my research before deciding to purchase it. The plastic is BPA free. Both Beau (older female kitty) and Aticus (male kitten) love drinking from the spouts of the other fountains I had so this one was perfect! I really love that the base is tall enough so that the cats are not straining their necks drinking water from down below. It is at a perfect height for both of them. Some reviewers complained that there should be an indicator that the water level is low. I do not agree. As a long time fountain user for my animals, I am constantly checking the water levels on my own daily or every other day. In my opinion, this should be done regardless of the water level being too low to check for potential debris that could clog or hurt the motor. Also, the motor makes a slightly louder noise when the water level is low and over the years I have learned to attune my ears to this sound- so much that periodically over the years I have heard the sound in the middle of the night and have gotten out of bed to refill the water. This isn't a problem with me because the fountain reaps so many benefits. Some other reviewers have also complained that the motor sound is too loud. Again, I disagree. Unless these people are sleeping on the floor right next to the fountain, it is barely noticeable. To provide an idea of what it sounds like with water at the appropriate level, it is a very dim humming sound. Not nearly enough to be bothersome. The dim sound gets a bit louder when the water level is too low. I will say that it took almost two weeks for both Beau and Aticus to finally drink out of the fountain. However, Beau being the picky kitty that she is, I knew this was going to happen as it has happened with every single water fountain. Since Aticus is the baby, he follows what she does most of the time, and so both ignored the fountain at first. Both cats are fed raw food with water and TikiCat canned food mixed in so I was not worried that they were not receiving any water. My own personal trick that worked to get them to finally notice and utilize the water fountain was simple. Whenever my husband and I leave for vacation, the cats are fed Orijen Six-Fish dry food in an automatic feeder. Before being scrutinized for feeding both dry and raw food (I know the pros and cons and know that both are digested differently), I would like to say that a vacation for us is maybe once a month and lasts between a weekend and a week at the most. Of course, we have a friend come in to refill the water and tend to other cat related care, but the reason behind the dry food is that the way in which I prepare the raw food is tedious and Beau will not eat it unless it is prepared by myself or my husband (did I say she was picky?) and Aticus will sworm in and eat both his food and hers. Therefore, it makes sense to have high quality dry food once a month for both the cats and the sitters sake. I digress. My trick was simple. Since neither of them seemed to take to the fountain, I replaced their regular raw food with dry food for one day. Since the dry food lacks in moisture, I knew eventually they would both become thirsty. I was right. I watched both of them drink from the fountain later that day and now they drink out of it all of the time. All in all, the price for the fountain was remarkably cheaper than any other fountain I had previously bought them. I clean it once a week as well as the motor (unless otherwise indicated), check the water level daily or every other day, and also bought a pack of replaceable filters which are replaced once a month. Even if the motor burns out on this one (which I am hoping it doesn't) I will purchase this same fountain as the price is great! Both kitties approve and so does mom! Great product! EDIT: 2016 SEPT 01 The past few weeks water has been pooling in the green reservoir despite me changing the filter every month and rinsing it and cleaning the entire fountain including the pump at the end of every week. Other than that, about three weeks into the purchase the top part of the plug in broke off and I had attempted to glue it back on with no luck, but since the fountain was still functional it wasn't a huge concern and I just loosely put it back in place. That being said, I came home today to find the fountain had overflowed despite it being at medium water level. I should have known this was the fountains immanent death. Anyway, I cleaned the fountain and replaced the filter as usual and went to to plug it in and nothing. I tried different outlets and still nothing- the fountain was done for. I am disappointed that after a little less than nine months it's completely broken and unusable but because the fountain is cheap compared to other fountains I ordered a new one. I hope the new one holds up.

I already own the plastic CatIt fountain, but find it super annoying to clean weekly. The basin itself is alright since you can get every spot with a sponge, and the flower topper and green/blue part that the water cascades onto before hotting the filter isn't bad either (once you take off the yellow topper piece that blocks you from passing a bottle brush fully through the flower topper), with only a few stubborn spots where the injection mold flashing leaves a rough line that holds on to mildew. That leaves the filter holder which has 8 sections that need to be cleaned - the underside of each of the 8 "slices" has 90 degree inside corners along each side that always take several passes with both the corner of a sponge and a bottle brush - and even then some red mildew usually stays on until I inspect every crevice and get anything that remains. The filter holder seems to have been designed with no regard for ease of cleaning, which is especially frustrating since it's plastic and non dishwasher safe. So, based on looking at both the pictures of the stainless version here and on the CatIt website, in addition to the cleaning instruction videos on the CatIt website as well as the manuals for the fountains I found there, I decided to get the stainless steel version, hoping that the annoying parts to clean would be metal. Unfortunately, none of the aforementioned listing photos, videos, or pictures in the manuals show the stainless steel version disassembled, so I had no idea what was underneath the stainless steel dish. I could only see that there was a stainless steel component, a plastic basin which is identical, and a flower topper, which isn't the most annoying part to clean. I purchased the stainless steel version hoping that the stainless part would replace the hard to clean filter holder - this is not the case! The stainless dish effectively replaces the green/blue piece that goes between the flower topper and the filter holder. It's only purpose seems to be to provide an intermediate level for water to flow on and off of. It's shaped like an illustration of a black hole and has no crevices or hard to clean areas if you have a bottle brush for the inside of the tube and a sponge for the outer surfaces - and underneath the stainless dish is the same old filter holder with all its hard to clean crevices! The only extremely slight improvement is that the plastic is white on this version, so any red or black mold would be easier to see - whereas the green plastic on my current one is dark enough that I need a bright light to look up close to see if each of the crevices is clean. I've highlighted in a picture of the underside the stubborn spots that take multiple rounds of scrubbing with sponge, bottle brush, rinsing, and double checking under a bright light before repeating until all the mildew is gone. All in all, if you're looking at the stainless version because you want something easier to clean or more sanitary, you could achieve the same effect on the plastic version just by cutting off the top of the piece in between the flower topper and the filter holder. The stainless alternative even has a plastic tube in the middle where it inserts into the middle of the fountain so it's not like you would be missing out on that either. The only thing the stainless version gets you is a metal replacement for one of the easiest to clean pieces of the fountain, and one that isn't even necessary. You would think by now they would have made a metal version of this fountain where you can remove the pump for manual cleaning and chuck the rest of the pieces in the dishwasher. And don't get me wrong, the plastic version is perfectly serviceable, but the stainless version is just not worth it.

The product itself is wonderful. Cute, easy to clean and change the filter. However being cats my girls drank from it for two days and decided it was the work of the devil and now prefer to drink out of flowerpots in the catio. Cats!

I have only had fountain 2.5 days but I'm thrilled already. Within a few hrs of set up, my cat was drinking from it (he slept thru 1st few hrs) & he has rtn'd to it quite a few x's for a drink. I recently bought the regular drinkwell fountain which is a perfectly good fountain but He didn't drink from it til a good 8 days in & still kept going to sink for water, so it wasn't the best pick for him. Doesn't mean it won't b best pick for others, but my guy's preference is the catit flower fountain with the yellow middle pc. removed. That's the flow he seems most attracted to of the 3 wonderful options. Pros would b.. affordable, compact, height is good for comfortable drinking, 3 different flow options (all gentle but just right so not to scare them), super quiet, only clean, fresh, hair & debris free water available to your pet. Easy fill & clean. Sturdy & not something they can tip over. Takes up little space. No mess. Only cons so far r filters must b ordered (not sold locally) & cost a little more than drinkwell filters (Amazon prices). They aren't super clear about which filters u can use but the water softener 1's fit & so do regular catit (blue) fountain 1's (identical fountain to flower fountain only its blue not green & has no flower spout). According to the co., the more expensive 2pk water softening filters last longer than the regular 3 pk catit 1's, but I've read customer reviews saying 3 pk regular r fine. I suppose if u have hard water, the softener type would b beneficial for u. Overall I'm happy. I wanted my cat to drink more & preferably from fountain instead of waiting at sink. So far, this is the winner for that goal. Update: been almost 2 yrs & still works like a champ. The key is cleaning it wkly (for 1 cat), ck'ing it has enuf water often so pump doesn't run dry & die.. & every 30 days or so, take pump apart (vids on youtube to help, easy) & clean every nook & cranny. Pretty easy actually. Slime will build up if u don't clean pump inside & out & water won't b clean. Build up can eventually kill your pump too, so keep it clean. This is the recipe for a healthy, clean pet drinking fountain & a long living pump. My cleaning kit consists of a 2 pc bottle & straw brush (walmart $2-$3), a bounty paper towel & orig dawn dish soap. Easy peasy. I use catit senses filters (if u don't have hard water) & rinse very well each wk. If they feel gross, boil in hot water. Will eventually get flimsy & need to b replaced but u get a lot of life out of each filter if u maintain your fountain & pump & clean filter. Follow these steps for a clean fountain & a pump that runs for a long time. Ppl complaining about pump dying r not following these simple steps. I still 100% recommend this fountain after almost 2 yrs of happy kitty use. If I needed another someday, I'd buy this exact 1 again. I love it.

Es tal cual a las imágenes, yo llevo años usando esta fuente pero la que era de plástico entera y muy bien las dos, llevan los mismos filtros, yo estoy contenta con ella

I miei gatti di 8 e 7 anni l'hanno amato da subito! Devo dire che con questo caldo è veramente una mano santa per loro! L'acqua è sempre freschissima e a disposizione; credo proprio che sia necessaria per il benessere dei mici. Sono pienamente soddisfatta dell'acquisto.

Our cat loved it! Seems good quality material, little bit of noise but nothing crazy. Unsure how long it lasts as my cat sadly went missing. Good purcahse

Comprata perché il gatto considera la ciotola d’acqua una proposta offensiva. Risultato: beve di più. E già questo basterebbe. La Catit Flower Fountain sfrutta un concetto semplice ma scientificamente valido: acqua in movimento = interesse del gatto. Il fiore non è solo decorativo, ma crea tre modalità di flusso (goccia, ruscello, flusso calmo) che soddisfano anche il felino più esigente e critico. Parte tecnica (quella seria) - Capacità circa 3 litri, quindi niente rabbocchi continui - Pompa a basso voltaggio, silenziosa se l’acqua è al livello giusto - Filtro a carbone + filtro meccanico: trattiene peli, residui e odori - Componenti smontabili facilmente per la pulizia Parte pratica (quella reale) - Il gatto beve davvero di più - L’acqua resta più fresca rispetto alla ciotola - Rumore quasi nullo (se non gorgoglia, vuol dire che va rabboccata) - Design leggero ma stabile Difetti da sapere (per non idealizzarla) - Il fiore trattiene peli: va lavato spesso - Se il livello dell’acqua scende troppo, la pompa si sente - I filtri vanno cambiati regolarmente, costo da considerare - Non è antigattogiocherellone: qualcuno proverà a smontarla Consigli utili - Tieni sempre l’acqua sopra il minimo: silenzio + durata pompa - Lavala bene ogni 7–10 giorni - Cambia filtro regolarmente o l’effetto “acqua buona” svanisce Conclusione La Catit Flower Fountain non è un gadget carino: è una fontanella studiata bene, che funziona davvero e migliora l’idratazione del gatto. Richiede un minimo di manutenzione, ma in cambio ottieni meno ciotole ignorate e più gatti idratati. Il fiore è decorativo, sì… ma soprattutto convincente.

Yesil renkli olandansa bunu tavsiye ederim. Ustundeki oluklari sayesinde elektrik kesintisi olsa bile pinar calismazken oluklarda biriken suyu icebiliyor kediler elektrikler gelene kadar. Pompa ve parcalarinin temizligini iyi yapmak gerekiyor. Ben acemilik zamanlarimda pompa bozuldu zannedip pompa almistim halbuki pompanin kapagini, ucunu, kapagin altindaki oteki bir kapagi acip iyice temizleyince aslinda pompanin bozuk olmadigini yosun ve kir birikmis oldugunu gordum. Temizlik icin yine catitin temizlik aparatlarinin oldugu bir set var, uzun fircasi cok ise yariyor ozellikle, onu da almanizi tavsiye ederim. Ben haftada 1 temizliyorum, ayda 1 de filtre degistiriyorum. Arada sesli calismasinin nedeni temizlik olabilir, onu daha tam cozemedim ama cok memnunum, kediler akan suyu daha cok seviyorlar.
